What is Valium and when is it used?
Valium belongs to the class of drugs called benzodiazepines. The active ingredient of Valium has anxiolytic, sedative, anticonvulsant, calming, and muscle relaxant properties.
Your doctor has prescribed Valium to treat states of anxiety and tension that may derive from a mental illness or be the expression of a transitory period of overexertion and which generally manifest themselves with hyperexcitability, nervousness, feelings of anxiety and distress, sense of oppression and discouragement; they can also be associated with somatic symptoms, such as palpitations, sweating, sleep disturbances, tremor.
What must also be taken into account during treatment?
Valium alone cannot resolve the cause of anxiety and tension.
Valium can be used as a concomitant therapy to relieve muscle spasms caused by trauma or inflammatory processes.
